In 1793, James Robertson purchased
640 acres on Bartons Creek from James Campbell, a private in
the Revolutionary War. On this tract of land, Robertson built
an iron furnace and village and erected the first iron works
on Tennessee's frontier. The village, Cumberland Furnace, is
the oldest community south of the Cumberland River, between
Nashville and Clarksville, and the oldest in Dickson County.
